FunctionalA functional organizational structure, also called a bureaucratic organizational structure, divides the company based on specialty. For example, under this type of organizational structure, you would assign separate divisions for marketing, accounting and sales. On the one hand, this type of organizational structure benefits from having individuals entirely dedicated to one function. In some cases, there can be cost savings and efficiency gains in combining functions in this way. However, this type of organizational structure is prone to conflict. It can be difficult to facilitate strong lines of communication between functional departments; if departments are in separate locations, actual communication can be difficult, as can understanding the needs of the other department. Divisional

Companies also may be structured according to projects or products. This type of organizational structure is called divisional structure and is common in environments where projects, products or product lines are governed independently of each other. Examples of this include retailers such as Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic. These divisions operate as separate companies, but they are each part of the Gap brand and Gap Inc. A divisional structure can make it easier for a company to respond to market changes. Also, within the division, communication is easier and team identification is encouraged. On the downside, work can become inefficient as some efforts are duplicated. There also can be conflict between divisions, especially if one is more successful than another.

MatrixThe matrix organizational structure combines the functional and additional organizational structure types. There are project teams, bringing skilled individuals together from across the organization, but there are still divisions. As such, a person has two bosses: the division manager and the project manager. In this organizational structure, projects benefit from having cooperation across the...

Despite Tesco having international growth, this means the company is highly dependent on the UK market and this is starting to lead to problems for them. For example, this year Tesco reported a fall in profit for the first time in 20 years. Because of this Tesco needs to use a PEST (Political, Economic, Social and Technological factors) analysis as it will allow the business to build their vision for the future and help them to avoid further decreases in profit. Good use of PEST Analysis would also help Tesco to avoid taking further action that would result in failure for reasons beyond their control e.g. the recession.
PEST analysis is used to analyse business markets, industries, segments or the whole economies. It provides a summary of the driving forces in the macro environment. It identifies drivers that were of high importance in the past, indicates to what extend they might change in future and how this will interfere with the organisation or the whole industry. Depending on the objective of the analysis, a distinction between the current situation and potential future changes may be helpful.
Political factors have an effect on Tesco. The government encourages retailers to provide a mix of job opportunities such as low-paid jobs, local based jobs, flexible jobs, high-skilled jobs and high-paid jobs etc. This is so the demand from...

...PEST analysis
A PEST analysis is used to identify the external forces affecting an organisation .This is a simple analysis of an organisation’s Political, Economical, Social and Technological environment. A PEST analysis incorporating legal and environmental factors is called a PESTLE analysis.

- Voluntary codes and practices
- Market regulations
- Trade agreements, tariffs or restrictions
- Tax levies and tax breaks

Economical
The second element of a PEST analysis involves a study of economic factors.
All businesses are affected by national and global economic factors. National and global interest rate and fiscal...
